Fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption.
I have noticed that my fuel consumption has increase since the time I bought the car at zero km.
Its at 110k and all I have is a CAI installed everything else is OEM.
What do you all recommenda? Do I need a tune up, or relace O2 sensors? or anything else?

Alignment I need but its not that bad since my steering wheel is centered and my tires thread are in good shape.
I usually cruse and dont kill the pedel.
I went to the mechanic to ask if I need a tune up since my gas consumption has increase and he recommends replacing the O2 sensor. Does that make any sense?

doesnt honda recommend a complete tune-up at 60k miles?
ive read in motor trend magazines where they advertise a boucsh o2 oxygen sensor, supposely lets your car "breathe" better and get more miles out of it... no idea if its false advertising or what.

cheap is relative, plugs are $2-$15 and i find that cheap
if your o2 sensor was not functioning, you'd have a CEL. for cars i've bought those for, it's been around $100. i wouldn't replace it unless it really isn't working

My SL65 rim, because a rim is all I can afford

thats $60 buck for new plugs. With the new ignition you're suppose to use Iriduim or something like that, the old fashion cheap copper ones are bad for a D17, but they use them in the SRT-4's $2 copper ones 
then they wonder why they break 
Anyway, yeah, don't change the O2 unless you have to. That stuff about letting your car breather better is BS too.

Rep Power: 813 look at my profile. My gas mileage is the highest its ever been since I bought the car, sometimes upto 42mpg. Use fp60 fuel cleaner from lubecontrol.com for starters. Then replace all the maint stuff.
